I must admit, I don't know the answer on how to address varying filesystem layouts.

Re: HOWTO Install Samsung Unified Printer Driver

In reply to post #902 and #903 there is a problem with IPP that makes it impossible to print to a networked Samsung printer. The suggested workaround is to change the connection type and not use IPP.

I've tried both 'LPD/LPR Host or Printer' or 'AppSocket/HP JetDirect' and I was able to print successfully to our clx6250 printer.

Look at this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...ps/+bug/973270 (there are also alike (not duplicate) bugs reported)
In the comments a developer responsible for CUPS in Ubuntu has posted a link to his PPA where he supports the 'ipp14' protocol which is the IPP implementation of CUPS 1.4.x
Using ipp14://xxxxx for the printer URL printing works perfectly again with the Samsung driver in Precise

How is your printer connected? If by network, try a different protocol (raw or lpd). If USB, does the computer auto-recognize the model when you go to configure it? If not, there is a small chance the samsungmfp-scanner-usblp-fix package might help.

You could also try configuring the printer as a generic PCL printer, or selecting the CLP-600 or CLP-610 as the model (sometimes related models work). Another approach is to set the error policy (in the printer configuration) to "retry job" instead of "stop printer" or similar. I use an HP printer at work that went through a period of needing this - I was constantly getting spurious errors. Never did figure it out, and it eventually went away. It's possible that it is actually a configuration problem with the printer itself, and reseting it to factory defaults could potentially help.

Thanks for your tips but it doesn't help
I reset also the printer...
But it stays the same, retry job doesn't help because i get the message all fine document was printed. But still no output at the printer i try all similar models
Now i use these gutenprint-drivers but there i can't use duplex mode

Re: HOWTO Install Samsung Unified Printer Driver

if you ask for me
no not really i can print (with a other driver package not the samsungs one)
the quality is okay but iam not able to use duplex

maybe a short overview what i have done
install following
samsungmfp-data, configurator-data, driver-4.00.35.2, common, driver, scanner, network, configurator-qt4, legacy-configurator-qt4 and libtiff3-samsungmfp

after this i can add with the samsung configurator my printer (autodeteced in the network)
but when i try to print nothink happens no error message and no print...
